During the second dark-sky portion of January, I elected to compose a nightscape with Orion as the main subject. I hauled myself up to Oak Flats (a better location for deep sky than my backyard!). In this case I also used my Sky Watcher, and my Canon EOS Ra was equipped with the Samyang 14mm. I captured 6 4-minute exposures at f5.6 and ISO 800. My process of the sky image was similar to other deep sky work, and I blended it with the landscape shot at the same location, same time.
Orion, the Pleaides, Sirius, and the Milky Way all figure in the sky, along with a host of H-alpha emission regions.
I'm sure a bit more time and maybe some even darker skies would get the deep sky to show even better, though I'm pretty pleased with this effort close to home!
Peace and cheers!

Travellers to The Frozen Planet have reported seeing a constellation in the night sky which is visible for just a few days during our month of December. It is called SC+8 because of its resemblance to Santa Claus + 8 reindeer. This is the first photo to reportedly show the constellation.

I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars

This is a macro photo of side-lit pins, arranged so that their shadows created the constellation of Orion.
Constellations are imaginary lines humans have drawn between jumbled messes of stars, drawing upon our myths, beliefs and narratives to craft monuments of light in the sky.

Happy Slider Sunday!
The Breitling Super Constellation takes to the skies at the 2016 Zigermeet air show in Mollis. Sadly she has been grounded since signs of corrosion were found on the main spar.
It was just another night
With a sunset
And a moonrise not so far behind
To give us just enough light
To lay down underneath the stars
Listen to papas translations
Of the stories across the sky
We drew our own constellations
The west winds often last too long
The wind may calm down
Nothing ever feels the same
Sheltered under the Kamani tree
Waiting for the passing rain
Clouds keep moving to uncover the scene
Stars above us chasing the day away
To find the stories that we sometimes need
Listen close enough
All else fades
Fades away

"(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, oh)
(Oh, oh)
Memories frozen fossilized
Afraid of the past, so petrified
'Cause I just don't know how to let go
It's forever, you're inside my bones
Your DNA I can't forget
Washing away the emptiness
Yeah, your voice is just an echo
But it's the only thing I need to
Know that you're alive
Your light will never die
So I follow in the middle of the night and find my way
You're my constellation
Your gravity pulls me off the ground
Over my head, I'll never drown
You hold me steady when I'm shaking
My reality is caving in
Connecting the stars so I could see (Oh-oh)
The infinite picture vividly
In every dimension (Oh-oh)
You speak and I listen
I know that you're alive
Your light will never die (Your light will never die)
So I follow in the middle of the night and find my way
You're my constellation
You're my constellation
You're my constellation
You're my constellation, yeah
My constellation, ooh-oh"

on friday, we received a brief but fierce spring snowstorm. yet at sunset, the clouds moved on. the snow and ice were illuminated. our kitchen window appeared as a constellation. a unique set of shapes, never to be seen again. i watched that window for a long while. everyday scenes can be magical.

The constellation of Cassiopeia, the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy sink westward into the upper Tamar lake. The Milky way is usually associated with the summer night sky but although fainter it is still beautiful during the winter. My first attempt at this kind of shot. Canon 40D. Sigma 8-16mm lens. Small, home made tracking equatorial mount.
NGC 1365 is a spiral galaxy in the Fornax constellation, around 56 million light years from earth.
As is common with these types of galaxies, the two spiral arms actually orbit the centre of the galaxy at different speeds. Meaning that over time (in astronomical timescales), they’ll look completely different.

Orion is clearly visible in the night sky from November to February.
The Orion Nebula - a formation of dust, hydrogen, helium and other ionized gases rather than a star - is the middle "star" in Orion's sword, which hangs off of Orion's Belt.
Other stars in the constellation include Mintaka, Alnilam and Alnitak which form Orion's belt, are the most prominent stars in the Orion constellation.
The Blue-white star Rigel, in the constellation Orion, is one of the brightest stars in the night sky.
Early in the afternoon I received the iOptron SkyGuider Pro and could not wait to try it out.
In the evening, as I was taking pictures of the Orion Constellation, the clouds started to move in adding a pink tone to the blue sky.
Thank you for your comments,
